Chords for Tom Waits - Downtown Train (Storytellers)

_ _ _ _ _ This is one of those songs that has a train in it.
[F] _ When I was a kid, it didn't seem that [A] you were able to go anywhere
without having to stop at a train [Bb] crossing.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ In fact, it happened so often that one night I woke up in the middle of the night
and I went to the hallway in my house
and there was a train going through the hall.
_ It's true.
[Bb] Not _ _ _ a real [F] train, but I mean, it was so deep in there,
but the train thing was _ [Bb] showing up my dreams.
[F] _ _ _ _ Beside [Bb] another _ yellow moon _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] Beside another [C] yellow [F] moon
_ _ [Bb]
Unstole in [C] the night time
[F] _ I climbed to the window and down to the street _
I'm [Bb] shining [Bb] like a new dime _ _
[C] Downtown trains are full
[Bb] _ With all those [C] Brooklyn girls
_ They try [C] so hard to break out of their [F] little worlds
Oh, you wave your hand [C] and they scatter [F] like coals
They have [Bb] nothing that will ever capture [F] your heart
They're just thorns [C] without the [F]
holes
Keep [Bb] careful of them in the dark
If [C] I was the one
_ [Bb]
To be your [C] only one _
Can't you hear me now?
[C] Can't you hear me [F] now?
Will I see you [F] tonight?
[C] _ _ [F] _
On a [Bb] downtown [C] train
_ [F] _
_ _ [Bb] Every night, every night it's just the same
[C] Oh baby, leave me lonely [F]
now
I [Bb] know your window and I know [F] it's late
[Bb] I know your [G] stairs and your [F] doorway
_ _ _ [Bb] I [C] climb past [F] your gate
_ [Bb] And the [C] light at the [Bb] four-way
You [C] watch them as they [Bb] fall
Oh baby, they [C] all have heart attacks
[Bb] They wait at the carnival
[C] They'll never win you [F]
back
Will I see [Bb] you [C] tonight? _ _
On a [Bb] downtown [C] train
_ [F] _
_ _ [Bb] Every night, every night it's just [Gm] the same
[C] Oh [Gm] baby, leave me [F] lonely now
Will I see you [C] tonight? _ _
On a downtown train _ _
[F] _ _ Every night, [Bb] every night it's just [Gm] the same
_ [G] Oh baby, on a downtown _ [F] train
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ Will I see [Bb] you tonight?
[C] _ _ _ On a [Bb] downtown _ train
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] Every night, every night it's just the same
[C] Oh baby, leave me [F] lonely
Will I see [Bb] you [C] tonight?
_ [C] _ On a downtown train
_ [F] _ _ Every [Bb] night, every night it's just the same
[C] Oh baby, on a [F] downtown train
_ _ [Bb] _
[C] On a [F] downtown train
_ [Bb] _
[C] On a [F] downtown train
_ _ [Bb] _
[C] On a downtown [F] _ train
[Bb] On [C] a [F] downtown train
_ _ [Bb] _
